Zhang Baili and his son discussed until the beginning of dinner, and in order to enhance their relationship with everyone, Zhang Taiji's dinner was eaten with everyone. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

It was not yet dark, and there was a table and chair in the yard, fragrant stewed meat, fresh green vegetables, orange and yellow pancakes, all of which were served, and the greedy teenagers couldn't help but secretly reach out and pinch a small piece to relieve their hunger first.

Mu Lun, Shen Tugai, Zhang Fu and other men sat together, and on the other side, Li Junru, Li Yalan, Fan Xue and other women were at a table, and Miao Xiang was also mixed with them, Zhang Taiji liked this lively atmosphere of eating very much.

Zhang Baili doesn't like this kind of behavior that is neither big nor small, and does not follow the rules, so he can only hide in the house and eat by himself.

Chatting while eating, it is very close to the relationship between each other, and in the chat, Zhang Taiji mentioned that he will accompany the king of Jinan tomorrow. I only go to the Thousand Buddha Mountain to make incense, and I need someone to follow me so that I can take care of it.

Accompanying the prince to travel together, there are not too many people needed, so Zhang Taiji plans to bring only two people, and everyone wants to go, so they talked for a while, and finally decided that it would be better to let Miaoxiang and Shen Tugai follow.

The wonderful phenomenon is that the locals are familiar with Qianfo Mountain, and Shen Tugai is naturally a bodyguard to protect Zhang Taiji's safety.

After eating lively, it was already the beginning of the lanterns, and everyone was still sitting around and had no intention of leaving, Zhang Taiji knew that these people wanted to listen to his story.

He is not pretentious, let people make good tea, drink two sips to moisten his throat, see that there are men and women here, think about what content is appropriate, and think about it for a while, and have a plan in his heart.

There was no surprise on the table, so he could only cough twice to attract everyone's attention, and said: "Speaking of Wu Song Wu Erlang, I came to the cross slope on the day ......of the army distribution."

A story about Sun Erniang opening a black shop to sell human meat buns was told, and the men and women present were terrified and amazed! The men were better, but the women were scared to death and couldn't help but want to listen.

In a fashionable sentence, it should be said like this, "These women are itchy and unstoppable by Zhang Taiji, and finally they are addicted!" ”

The next morning, Zhang Taiji got up early to practice and eat, and took Shen Tugai to the Jinan Mansion as soon as the day dawned, and just went out to see a carriage parked in front of the door, and a man in white got down from the car, and saluted the two slightly.

Zhang Taiji was just a little stunned, and he saw that this son should be a wonderful image, Shen Tugai didn't have this eyesight, and when he saw that a strange stranger appeared, he immediately blocked Zhang Taiji behind him, and his eyes were staring at the boy in white!

Zhang Taiji tugged at the corner of his clothes, indicating that he didn't need to be nervous, and then nodded at Miaoxiang, who spoke in a standard male voice, only slightly feminine: "Please ask the master to get in the car." ”

Zhang Taiji naturally got into the carriage, although Shen Tugai was strange, he didn't ask much, followed and got into the carriage, and the carriage drove straight to the Jinan Mansion.

In the car, Zhang Taiji observed the wonderful image at close range, the wonderful image at this time should be his usual appearance, his face is as white as jade, his skin is delicate, and his eyebrows seem to have been trimmed.

The carriage stopped in front of the house, there were already servants waiting here, the servants led Zhang Taiji to the living room to wait, the chief of the guard stepped forward to inform that the king of Jinan was bathing and changing clothes for the incense and worshipping the Buddha, in order to show his devotion to the gods and Buddhas.

After a while, only Li and Zhang Mi walked out one after the other, both of them were dressed in dark layman clothes, without any jewelry, and their hair and beard were not messy, but they looked a little more solemn than usual.

Zhang Taiji stepped forward to salute, and only took Zhang Taiji's hand affectionately to talk to him, and specially asked him if he had breakfast? Zhang Taiji was puzzled and truthfully replied that he had eaten it.

packed up, everyone went out of the house, got into the carriage and headed towards Qianfo Mountain. There are local officials on both sides of the road that must be passed, dispersing idlers to guard the intersection, and the road is smooth to the foot of the Thousand Buddhas.

Xingguo Temple of Thousand Buddha Mountain received a notice in advance and was prepared. As soon as the convoy arrived, the presiding officer of the temple took the head of the monks of the temple down the mountain to greet him.

As a landlord, Zhang Mi naturally acted as a guide himself, and only introduced the leaders of the monks. On this kind of formal occasion, Zhang Taiji is not qualified to stand in front, he can only watch from a distance, so he can't listen to the conversation between Zhang Mi and others.

After a brief introduction, under the guidance of the presiding monk, everyone began to hike up the mountain, fortunately, the Thousand Buddha Mountain is not high, and the Xingguo Temple is halfway up the mountain. And every time you go to a scenic spot, the presiding monk has to stop and introduce it to everyone, otherwise I really doubt that I am only so fat, can I go to the temple?

Climb the stairs from Xipan Road, pass through the Tanghuai Pavilion and Qiyan Nine Point Square in the shade of ancient trees, pass through the "Yunjing Zen Pass" workshop, and face the mountain gate of Xingguo Zen Temple.

On both sides of the entrance, the second floor of the bell and drum stands. Welcoming the Heavenly King Palace, Maitreya Buddha greeted the world with a smile.

Two into the courtyard, the Daxiong Treasure Hall is on the east side of the temple, sitting in the east and facing the west, majestic and magnificent. On the lotus throne in the middle of the hall, enshrine the statue of Buddha Shakyamuni, the Bodhisattva and Arhat stand on both sides, and the north and south sides respectively shape the ten disciples such as Puxian, Manjushri Bodhisattva and Ananda and Ka Ye.

Zhang Taiji thought that he would continue to visit other scenic spots, but he knew that everyone stopped, and the monks began to be busy arranging the venue, and the entourage also began to put out various tributes.

Zhang Taiji really doesn't know what they are doing! Fortunately, there is a wonderful phenomenon, and after his explanation, Zhang Taiji knew that Zhang Mi and Ye Zhili might be undergoing the Eight Levels of Fasting Ritual.

The so-called "eight precepts" refer to the precepts and fasting methods that the Buddha made for the sake of practicing with lay disciples and temporarily monastic practitioners.

The time can be set by yourself, and it is proposed in the "Sutra of Amitayus", which can be ten days and ten nights, or even one day and one night, and those who chant the Buddha will be reborn in another country at the end of their lives.

The rituals of Zhang Mihe Yezhili to take the eight precepts include: asking the teacher for the seat, enlightening the precepts, asking the holy alliance to repent of karma, declaring the precepts in the three inductive bodies, and teaching and issuing great vows to protect the recitation.

You can ask a master to teach you the eight precepts in the monastery, or you can take them by yourself in front of the Buddha without a precept teacher.

Miaoxiang herself sometimes takes the "Eight Levels of Fasting" at home. Spend a day and a night at home as a monk, strictly observe the novice precepts of a monk, and purify one's body, speech, and mind.

Zhang Taiji was silent for a long time after listening to Miaoyin's words! First, I lamented that my knowledge was shallow, and I didn't even know this minimum knowledge of Buddhism!

Furthermore, it is lamented that Buddhism has been circulating for so many years, naturally has its uniqueness, and he founded Tai Chi Sect as soon as his mind is hot, and now he does not even have a canonical precept and practice method, although Buddhism has also evolved for more than a thousand years to have such a scale, but he cannot live so long and wait for the slow development of Tai Chi Sect!

There is a long way to go!

It will take some time for Zhang Mihe to only receive the ordination ritual, and Zhang Taiji was a little disappointed when he was hit, so he walked around in Xingguo Temple with Miaoxiang and Shen Tugai.

While walking, Zhang Taiji felt that someone seemed to be watching him, and turned his head sharply to find that there was indeed a monk not far away looking towards him. The monk was not embarrassed when he was discovered, Shi Shiran walked towards the three of them, Zhang Taiji could feel that this person was not concerned about himself, but about the wonderful images around him.

As the distance narrowed, Zhang Taiji saw the appearance of the monk clearly, in his twenties, with delicate facial features, a little cynicism in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, and his temperament did not look like a monk but like a merry son.

Turning his head to look at Miaoxiang again, Miaoxiang saw the monk, the panic in his eyes flashed, Zhang Taiji said in his heart, there must be something wrong with these two people!

The monk walked up to the three of them, put his palms together in a pretended manner, and said, "Amitabha." ”

Zhang Taiji also clasped his palms together: "Amitabha." ”

The monk was also direct, and asked casually: "This son looks familiar, I wonder if we have seen it?" ”

This was addressed to Miaoxiang, who replied without a smile, "I don't remember meeting the mage. ”

The monk smiled playfully and continued to ask, "I really haven't seen it?" ”

Miao Xiang's brows furrowed, and she said coldly: "I am a native of Licheng, and it is normal for the mage to see me familiar. ”

The monk wanted to ask again, seeing the unhappiness of the wonderful image, Shen Tu Gai stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "You monk is so unreasonable, how can you be so entangled with people?" ”

Shen Tu Gai was tall and strong, and he was a little angry at this time, and his appearance was naturally terrifying, but the monk was not afraid at all, but smiled contemptuously, then shook his hand, turned around and walked away.

Zhang Taiji suddenly couldn't understand, is this person still a monk? How can you be so rude? The group of monks I saw just now all looked like people outside the world, where did such a person come from?

Seeing that the monk had gone away, Zhang Taiji asked, "Do you know each other?" ”

Miao Xiang smiled coldly: "I had a relationship a few years ago, and I wonder why I can't see him, I turned out to be a monk here!" ”

Shen Tu Gai didn't know the inside story of the wonderful image, so Zhang Taiji didn't ask much, the three of them continued to tour, but they didn't expect that just two steps, a white little monkey, squeaky and rushed towards Zhang Taiji, without waiting for Shen Tu Gai to stop, the little monkey jumped into Zhang Taiji's arms.

Zhang Taiji was stunned for a moment, and then saw that this was not his own Xiaobai? How did it end up here?

Before he could react, a short figure jumped out from where Xiaobai appeared. Zhang Taiji looked fixedly: "Wukong? ”
